 Comments
       
  Comment: Comments: Sister genus to Eliurus based on morphological features (Carleton and Goodman, 1998). Generic status questioned by phylogenetic study of cytochrome b data, in which Voalavo gymnocaudus is grouped as sister species to Eliurus grandidieri, the two forming a basal clade to all other Eliurus (Jansa et al., 1999)
